If you want to complete the Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword, you need to figure out what word can convey this phrase. If you're having trouble solving the \"Plays on words\" clue, here are some hints and the answer for the Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. 'Plays on words' Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword hints Hint 1: It ends with the letter \"S.\" Hint 2:\u00a0An anagram for this word is \"SPUN.\" Hint 3: Another word for \"WORDPLAY.\" Hint 4:\u00a0It starts with the letter \"P.\" Are you ready to solve this one? I'm going to reveal the answer now, so only read on when you're ready to learn it. 'Plays on words' NYT Mini answer The solution for the \"Play on words\" Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword clue is \"PUNS.\" This is another word for a play on words or a word with a double meaning. Puns play off words that sound alike but have different meanings. 'Plays on words' clue difficulty rating It's always a bit harder to solve a hint when there's an \"S\" tacked on at the end, so in the case of \"PUNS,\" there's a decent chance you might think of the right word but overlook the possibility of it working since \"PUN\" doesn't fit by itself. I don't think this is one of the toughest clues, but it's also not the easiest. I'm giving the \"Play on words\" clue a three out of five difficulty rating because I think it falls somewhere in the middle.

If you want to complete the Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword, you need to figure out what word can convey this phrase. If you're having trouble solving the \"Plays on words\" clue, here are some hints and the answer for the Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. 'Plays on words' Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword hints Hint 1: It ends with the letter \"S.\" Hint 2:\u00a0An anagram for this word is \"SPUN.\" Hint 3: Another word for \"WORDPLAY.\" Hint 4:\u00a0It starts with the letter \"P.\" Are you ready to solve this one? I'm going to reveal the answer now, so only read on when you're ready to learn it. 'Plays on words' NYT Mini answer The solution for the \"Play on words\" Oct. 17 NYT Mini Crossword clue is \"PUNS.\" This is another word for a play on words or a word with a double meaning. Puns play off words that sound alike but have different meanings. 'Plays on words' clue difficulty rating It's always a bit harder to solve a hint when there's an \"S\" tacked on at the end, so in the case of \"PUNS,\" there's a decent chance you might think of the right word but overlook the possibility of it working since \"PUN\" doesn't fit by itself. I don't think this is one of the toughest clues, but it's also not the easiest. I'm giving the \"Play on words\" clue a three out of five difficulty rating because I think it falls somewhere in the middle.
